full-back role or midfield, Arthur made 35 League
apearances for City, had a short loan spell to Blackpool,
and then moved permanently to Notts County in July, 1972.
At Meadow Lane he amassed 253 League appearances, scoring
21 goals, helping the club to win promotion from the
Third Division, in 1973. In June 1979, he left County for
Shrewsbury, but after eight League outings and one goal,
he joined Mansfield Town four months later. He played 116
games for the Stags (three goals), before turning to
non-League football in the early Eighties. Arthur had
spells with Boston, Telford, and Kettering, then became
assistant-manager at Grimsby Town in 1989 and occupied a
similar post at West Bromwich Albion in the
mid-Ninties."
